Hey. I just bought one of these......
http://www.tech-report.com/reviews/2003 ... dex.x?pg=1
..as a second PC, mainly to encode video while I work on another machine. If anyone is after a new PC or a second machine I highly recommend these little Shuttle units. 1 x 5.25" and 2 x 3.25" bays. 1 x AGP and 1 x PCI slots. Aluminium casing, 4 x USB 2.0, Firewire port, ethernet, 2 x VGA outputs. No CPU fan needed. I fitted mine with a Athlon XP2800, 120GB HD and 512MB DDRamm. I've never built a PC before either but this was easy
It's runs really quiet and is super speedy! Not to mention less than 1/3 of the size of my current beige 'thing'. If you're thinking of upgrading and don't need 4 x 5.25" drive bays and tons of PCI slots then these are great IMO. Look really smart too.
wouldn't look out of place in my Hi-fi rack.
I got it from , parts from ebuyer.co.uk and crucial.com/uk
